Introduction

Welcome to <Live Markup>

<Live Markup> is an easy-to-use Windows program specifically

designed for the building and editing of HTML documents for the World Wide Web.  It was developed by MediaTech Inc. using Borland C++.

WYSIWYG explained. Building pages with <Live Markup> and then viewing them in the Mosaic(tm) or Netscape(tm) browser will be somewhat close to the What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get environment depending on type styles used. Other browsers may show the Web Page quite differently.

We are continually improving and refining <Live Markup>.  If you have a suggestion or found a bug, please let us know by sending an e-mail message to: peter@mediatec.com

This is NOT free or shareware software.  You are hereby licensed to use this version www095b2 for evaluation purposes without charge until May 31, 1995.

If you use this software after the evaluation period a registration fee is required.  Please look at the chapter Purchase & Register the <Live Markup> program.

Unregistered use of <Live Markup>(TM) after the evaluation period is in violation of U.S. and International Copyright Laws.

Getting Started with <Live Markup>

\

Quick Start

1.	Open a new document. -- click on the first icon in the Toolbar. A new document opens labeled "Document 1".

2.	Click with your mouse on the "Edit document information" button. Type the title for the document in the pop-up window (the title is inserted in the header).

3.	Now click on the "Insert a new header" icon.

\

A narrow button box is inserted on the left in "Document 1". From now on we refer to this button box as "element selector". The only thing to remember about it is:

\

a.) 	By clicking with your mouse on the "selector" it is depressed and becomes an active element for editing.

b.)	Clicking with the RIGHT BUTTON of your mouse on the "selector" allows multiple choices from an pop-up menu for speedy editing.

4.	Click anywhere in the document, the cursor start flashing next to the "element 	selector". Type your Headline, by default it is (H1) the largest type displayed by browsers. -- In HTML 2.0  are six (6) headline size elements, with H1 - being the largest and H6 - the smallest size.

The first headline should always be the largest. However, it is not enforced by any browser (at least I don't know of any who does).

5.	Again click on the "selector" with the RIGHT mouse button. A pop-up menu allows changing of the header from H1 to H6, making the header plain text or deleting of the whole element.

6.	Text Input -- Click on the Text Block button in the toolbar

\

A new selector box is now below the headline with a cursor flashing for text input. Start typing new text in the document. Notice,  the "selector" increased in size (building a text element) as soon as text flows to the next line.

Important: DO NOT COPY  blocks of plain text into the document. In this version only Opening of Files in the HTML  format is supported.

7.	Text Editing -- The document is structured in elements. Always select the element you want to edit in by clicking in the text. (the selector activates) now highlight a portion of the text. Then click with your "RIGHT" mouse button anywhere inside the "highlighted text". Another pop-up menu is visible --  allowing you to change the highlighted type -- to many different styles including bold, italic, typewriter, underline etc..

Also you can revert any changed text back to plain normal text again by highlighting the whole paragraph or portions of it -- clicking with your right mouse button and selecting "plain".

Note: If you ever need to insert text or an image at the very top of an already partially completed document -- click on the top edge above the first element. All selector boxes are deactivated, now click on the text block button in the toolbar it places a selector on the very top, click on it -- type text or insert an image.

Linking Pages

Horizontal Rule

Working with List's


Linking Pages

1.	Highlight the actual text you want to create a link "from".

2.	Click with your RIGHT mouse button anywhere in the highlighted text Example text:  Follow this lead

3.	From the pop-up menu select "create hyperlink". A window pops up in which the hyperlink information must be typed or copied into.

Example - in the source (href) type: index.html

When the document is saved -- <Live Markup> outputs the proper code for browsers, like: <A HREF="index.html"> Follow this lead</A> . Linking document is very simple with this program.

4.	If you want the change the "link" or delete it, double click with your left mouse button on the link. The link-window pops up again -- now change the link information or delete the link completely.

5.	You can also make a destination link by inserting the proper information in the link-window under destination name. The color of the highlighted text for the destination changes to yellow.

Remember: This is not a World Wide Web Browser (at least not now). Therefore, do not click on a link and expect the program to jump automatically to the destination link.

Working with a List

Creating a Unordered List

Give the list a headline -- click on the headline button in the toolbar. Click on the selector and type the headline. The default size is always H1. Click with your RIGHT mouse button on the selector and adjust the type size. Now start the list.

1.	Click on the "insert a new list" button. Make always sure that, before inserting any new item the element above is "selected" pressed down. Otherwise the new element will go to the very TOP of the document.

2.	Double click on the new element  -- select it. Now in the toolbar the "insert new list item" is activated (blue center line).

3.	Click on "insert new list item" (button with blue center line) a second selector box is inserted with a bullet in the center.

4.	Double click on the bullet element (it depresses).

5.	Click on the text block button in the toolbar, a third selector is inserted.

6.	Click "select" the third selector -- now you can type or paste text in the list, or insert a image by clicking on the "insert a new image button in the toolbar.

Inserting additional list items.

Click once on the left (of the three) element selector. The blue line activates again in the toolbar on the "insert new list item button". Click on it.

The first element selector increases in size and a second button selector is inserted. Continue with the number 5 instructions above.

Nesting lists.

...continues from number 6 instructions above -- after completing first level. Now start the second list level -- nesting a list in a list.

1.	Click on the RIGHT selector next to the text or image, where you want to insert another list.

2.	Click in the toolbar the list button (insert a new list). The first and second selector increased in size, indicating the total list element and a selector is inserted below the last item of the list.

3.	Double click on the new selector. Then click on the toolbar "insert a new list item" button (with blue center line). A bullet button is placed next to the list selector. Double click the bullet selector, then click on the toolbar text block button and type your text.

4.	To insert another item at the same level -- click on the third (from left or right) element selector, then again on the blue center line button, double click the bullet selector, click on text block button, type text etc.

To insert another list (third level) start with Nesting Lists No. 1 above.

Going back to the first level -- from second level

Click on the very first (left) list selector. The "insert new list item" button in the toolbar activates, click on it. A new button selector is placed in the first element level, double click on it, then again click on the text block in the toolbar, click the new selector and type your text.

Getting out of lists from any level.

Click on the left (all the way on the left) selector -- activating it. Then click in the toolbar on the text block button. Select the new "selector" and type -- you are completely out of the list. Very easy and simple.

After making a nested list once -- you notice how easy it is to make lists, it will require some practice.


Working with Images

One Image is allowed at the beginning of each element in this version of <Live Markup>.

1.	To place a Image in the new document,  click on the "insert new text block button". Click on the "selector" if it is not down indicating an active element.

2.	Click on the Image button (smile face) in the toolbar. The image indicator is now next to the "selector".

3.	Double click with your left mouse button directly on the image -- the image information window pops up.

4.	If you don't know the image location use the browse feature, click on the browse button. Change to display  "list files of type:" to either "gif", or "other files" (all files), jpeg is the default setting.

5.	Double click on the file you want, automatically the file and the path is loaded into the "image Information" window. Change the file path if needed, depending on where the image will be located on the server.

6.	It is not necessary, but strongly suggested to type an "alternative text" in the "image Information" window. Remember: Not everyone is using a graphical browser.

7.	Click in the "image Information" window -- where you want the text next to the Image (if any) on top - middle - or bottom.

8.	In this version we display actual jpeg images only. If you work with a jpeg image you have the option of displaying the image at normal size or thumbnail size -- just by clicking in  the "image Information" window under "Group".

9.	Please Note: The Image source and destination link do not work in this version of <Live Markup>.

Inserting a Horizontal Rule

You can insert a Horizontal rule anywhere into the document at any time.

Just make sure that the "selector is down (selected) above the element you want to insert a horizontal rule.

If for any reason, you want to insert a horizontal rule at the very top of the document. Click near the top edge (in the background), this pops out all selector boxes, now click on the horizontal rule button in the toolbar -- inserting a line at the very top.

Of course, this method of clicking on top of the document, works to insert anything -- type, image etc.


Cutting and Pasting

tCutting and Pasting Text...

Highlight the text you want to cut. (you can cut text only within each element) every time you use "cut". Also you can "paste" text only into one element structure.

It is possible to cut and paste regular text (*.txt) from the Notepad or other text processor into <Live Markup> by laying out the document and pasting paragraphs into individual new elements.

Never -- paste a whole text document in a single <Live Markup> element. Our program is not designed to do it this way! It wont work! Your computer will come to a crawl -- So, don't do it!

Cutting and Pasting whole elements...

Click with your RIGHT mouse button on the "selector" box of the element you want to cut -- then select "delete this element from the pop-up menu.

In this version pasting of a whole element in the document is not supported.


Virtual Keyboard

Before you open the Virtual Keyboard, make a system search on your computer for the CTL3dv2.dll. If you have another CTL3dv2.dll on your system -- delete the one included with our program, or you get error messages when you open the virtual keyboard.

Working with the Virtual Keyboard is very easy.

Click on the OPTIONS menu on the toolbar and select Virtual Keyboard. a virtual keyboard opens on your screen in the upper left corner.

Make sure you have a "element" selected pressed down (activated) in <Live Markup>, where ever you want to insert a special character from the Virtual Keyboard.

This feature is especially valuable for the Copyright and Registered Trademark input among other often used special characters.

Remember input from the Virtual Keyboard is only possible if a "selector" is depressed (ready for text input) in <Live Markup>.


Open existing HTML Files

Click on the "opening an existing document" button. Select the HTML file to open -- must have a *.htm extension. The file will be read into <Live Markup> and automatically constructed in "elements" ready for editing.

In this version only the opening of HTML files is supported. DO NOT open regular text files. Your computer will slow down to a crawl.

Presently we support only the HTML 2.0 standard -- meaning that any document opened in <Live Markup> and saved with <Live Markup> will conform to the HTML 2.0 standard. The danger for anyone using already some new Netscape or proposed HTML 3.0 tags is, that they will be removed automatically.

By June 1, 1995, we expect to support also most tags used by the Netscape and Mosaic browsers in our registered version of <Live Markup>.


Saving Files

We recommend to save the file you are working on often.

To save a file into HTML simply click on the ""Save this document button.

Please Note: Saving any file with the <Live Markup> program, saves the file in HTML 2.0 format with all the proper tags for browsers to read.

If you opened a HTML file not created with <Live Markup> chances are that some text may be not displayed properly or not at all -- depending on the proper construction of the opened document.

However, any text saved with <Live Markup> will be opened with <Live Markup> without problems. (Please tell me if there are any)

Note: This version of <Live Markup> does not save any file into a regular text format -- only HTML.
